I really don’t get the appeal of keeping everything around forever. Frankly I think it’s a pathological trait many engineers suffer. Let bits expire. It’s the natural state of things. There’s no reason to fear.
This is basically the same approach as the "lifetime warranty" goods of the olden days.
It's not actually forever either way, but it's a way to tell you to not worry about preservation if you paid for the product. I guess it's also assuming that counting those blogs as active will help the service in a way or another, and
storage price will go cheaper in the future, to help alleviate the burden.
because we're ingrained especially at work to never let the server die it's the absolutely worst thing can happen and then this mentality carries over to everything where everything has to be constructed with longevity as a factor. Agreed it's natural for things to expire and or cyclically reset.
